My therapist is also definitely on my side...like 99% of the time. In the last two weeks, she's pushed me a bit, and pushed some responsibility for something on to me, but she's right in this case, I just didn't want to acknowledge it. In this particular instance, she's pushing me to make changes that I keep saying I want to make, but then keep chickening out of.

Usually, my therapist is totally on my side, sometimes more on my side than I am. There have been times I've told her things and she's been angry for me when I haven't been able to feel the anger yet. I've found that she expresses a lot of emotions for me that I can't seem to feel yet, but I'm working on that. Seeing my T react a certain way to things actually helps me to know what is appropriate to feel and I appreciate that so much.

I love the relationship I have with my T and I'm grateful that she is on my side. I have friends I trust, but when I need that little bit more support, I know my T is there.
